Yaron,

I don't have that system in front of me right now but reviewing your reg.
file I would aslo add these:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths]
"Directory"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.IE5"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path1]
"CachePath"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.IE5\\Cache1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path2]
"CachePath"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.IE5\\Cache2"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path3]
"CachePath"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.IE5\\Cache3"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path4]
"CachePath"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.IE5\\Cache4"

(in case you want to move printer spooler temp directory as well)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers]
"DefaultSpoolDirectory"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers]
"DefaultSpoolDirectory"="Z:\\Temporary Internet Files"

(in case you don't want users to download files to protected partitions)
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"Download Directory"="Z:\\"

I also recall that I could set
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\pathX],"CachePath" is hex only (binary, not string).

I don't remember if I tested much creating a new account that time but I did
create and setup some accounts during FBA.

In any case, if it does not work for you, you can end up having a Runonce
item for all users (.DEFAULT hive) that will clean up itself in the registry
under HKCU key on the first run.
